Well, this past week rushed by rather more quickly than I expected. I didn't post anything. But I can't allow Friday to happen without my posting Friday Fave Fives. (click on the link to go to our host Susanne's blog) Gratitude is an exercise that grows the more you practice it.
SMALL SEEDS OF GRATITUDE WILL PRODUCE
A HARVEST OF HOPE.
This is why I always strive to post my five example of thankfulness every Friday.
1. I finished this scarf and sent it off to Colorado to my friend.
2. New carpet was installed this week in the last two bedrooms upstairs. Now all the carpet upstairs matches. And...since I had to move everything out of my 'studio' room where yarn, fiber and sewing machine and spinning wheel live, I have been rearranging and organizing it all.
3. Veterans Day. The Professor is a veteran, as were my father and his father who were in the US military during World War II. Two of my uncles also served during World War II. The Professor spent a year in Vietnam. As a third generation veteran, my son USAR Chaplain Dan is still serving. I am thankful for service these family members did and honor their memories.
Our son on the day he left for his first overseas deployment as a chaplain. (he's done three)
4. A Veterans Day tradition for us is to enjoy breakfast at Denny's. T and S always join us and this year we were surrounded at every table by other veterans. Probably because of the free meal that Denny's offers veterans...
5. November 11th is also our son Dan and wife Jennifer's wedding anniversary. Twenty years! I am thankful for their marriage and the family they are building with PAL. And it's wonderful that they live close to us now.

How wonderful that your son is a Chaplain! I know you must be so proud of him. Wish we had a Denny's nearby. I have never eaten at one.
Thanks to your son for his service. And that is a beautiful scarf!!
